The sync preferences in iTunes can be set after the device you want to sync has been connected to your computer. Once connected, you can change the sync preferences for each individual device you connect. This allows business owners to manage the types of content they want to include on their devices. Most business owners can save significant space by disabling options such as music, videos and movies that take up large amounts of disk space.

Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable that came with the device.

Launch iTunes if it doesn't launch immediately. On Windows, click the Start menu and type "iTunes" into the search box. On a Mac, click the iTunes icon located in the Dock.

Select your device under the Devices section when iTunes opens by clicking on the device.

Click each of the tabs at the top of the iTunes main window and uncheck any items you don't want to sync to customize your sync preferences. When navigating between tabs, you'll be asked to apply your settings. Click "Apply" each time you are prompted.
